Prime Day music deals: Quick menu

Well, Amazon Prime Day is over for another year. It was a crazy two days of savings with everything from smart speakers and headphones to music-making gear, including electric guitars and laptops for music production seeing sizable discounts. Don't worry if you didn't quite get around to checking out the bargains, as a lot of the hottest deals are still live!

This year Amazon really delivered the goods, and while some have ended already, some are still alive and kicking. Prime Day was particularly good this year for guitarists, with a range of brilliant Fender offers taking place, including hundreds of dollars off 40th anniversary Squier models and some hearty discounts on Player series bundles that also include a tuner and Mustang Micro pocket amp. 

If you're hoping to bag some home studio upgrades this Prime Day, you can still grab the awesome Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen 3 audio interface which has a healthy 34% slashed off the normal price.

Away from Amazon, Thomann is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Harley Benton with 25% discounts on a large selection of guitars, basses and pedals - and the sale is still running!

We've got all the best deals that are live below, including the cream of the crop in our handy Editor's picks section.

Prime Day music deals: Amazon device deals

With Prime Day being an Amazon invention, naturally it's the time to make big savings on Amazon's own products. So, if you're looking to upgrade your Echo speakers, boost home security with a Ring video doorbell, or detox from your phone with a Kindle, Amazon devices get plenty of discounts for Prime Day. 

Last year Amazon was also giving away smart speaker bundles that included free subscriptions to their Music Unlimited streaming service. Keep your eyes peeled for those.

These are today's best prices on our top picks.

When is Prime Day 2023?

Prime Day has traditionally always taken place in July and this year is no exception. Prime Day 2023 will take place on 11 and 12  July. We're expecting Amazon to deliver over 1 million deals over that 48 hour period.

For more information you can also check out Amazon's own Prime Day hub page.

Do you need an Amazon Prime membership?

To take advantage of the Prime Day music deals on Amazon itself, the answer is yes. If you’ve never been a Prime member before, Amazon often offers free trials (right now you can sign up for a 30-day free trial), so you could be tactical and sign up just before the event, then cancel your subscription once you’ve bagged a bargain.

If you’re a regular Amazon shopper you might want to keep hold of that subscription though. Prime members get faster delivery, exclusive deals, access to Prime Music, Prime Video and more.

If you've already had a free trial, at the time of writing, a monthly Amazon Prime subscription costs $14.99/£7.99 (which you can cancel at any time) and a yearly option is $139/£79.

There's also a student plan that currently costs $7.49/£3.99 per month or $69/£39 per year.

Where to find the best Prime Day music deals

With such a huge uptake in music gear over the last few years, we’re expecting to see Amazon catering to this huge wave of new musicians and lapsed players who have returned to playing, with a bumper run of Prime Day music deals. We'll keep you updated with all the very best live deals.

We’d certainly recommend bookmarking this page and checking in regularly during the event – we’ll be sharing the best Prime Day music deals right on this page.

Will other stores be hosting Prime Day music deals?

Last year, in addition to the music deals rearing their heads on Amazon, there were music gear discounts to be had from the likes of Fender Play, Musician’s Friend, Sweetwater and Guitar Center, plus Walmart and Best Buy covering everything from beginner acoustic guitars, to guitar wireless systems. We’re hoping to see more activity from the big music retailers in 2023, plus more deals from software brands and companies who sell direct.

We've been chatting to some of our music industry pals and there are certainly rumours doing the rounds that there will be more offers coming from non-Amazon brands this year than ever before.

The main event might have been created by Amazon, but it's not exclusive to Amazon anymore. The buzz around Prime Day gets people in the mood for a bargain, and the big retailers know this, so will no doubt be cooking up their own music deals too.
